Gutnick Can Pursue Dow-Jones Libel Case

Posted by timothy on from the it's-your-word-against-my-lawyer dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Libel cases based on Internet material could be mounted anywhere in the world, after a landmark judgment handed down by the Australian High Court today. International news service Dow Jones failed in its bid to have a defamation action brought by mining magnate Joseph Gutnick heard in the United States."

    I can't find a link to view the libelous article from the Barron's site to which the argument is centered around. Does anyone know of a link where we could actually read the disparaging article?
    In any event, like limekiller4 said, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. It could get pretty ugly once everyone with the wherewithal jumps on the gravy train.
